elder brothers Budhisiri (and) Dhammasiri, the brother’s
son Budhi, and the sister, who has gone forth, Dhammasiri
(Dharmaśrī), (and) the
brothers’ daughters Bādhā and Budhā — thus being united with all kinsmen,
friends and relatives, living together (with him or)
separately, (they) established this pious gift
as eternal.
(10–19) For the repair of broken and shattered (parts)
and for the preparation of a flower canopy, annually at the
Pavāraṇā festival, one hundred fifty — 150 — tariḍela cows are given.
Moreover, the monks’ order must give annually six — 6 —
kāhāpaṇas as
price for flowers, and four — 4 — sāṇikis (śāṇikā) of lamp oil. This
has to be carried without raising any objections. And this
is (approved) by the Great (or: Head?) navakammika (navakarmika), the Great (...) Master Budhisiri ... the own property
(svakanibandha) of
the Bhagavant.
